Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features. and make comparisons where relevant.

Given are four pie charts comparing the proportion of three different age groups of Yemen and Italy in 2002 as well as providing predictions in a 50 years’ time. As can be seen from the graphs, the order of three age groups in Italy will remain the same, whereas that of Yemen in 2050 shows a totally different trend.

More specifically, the oldest age group in Yemen came last, at merely 3,6% and is likely to grow fractionally to 5,7%. Besides this, people aged between 0 and 14 ranked first, accounting for 50,1%, followed closely by people between the age of 15 and 59, at 46,3%. However, the projection is that the latter will outstrip the former and the gap between them will considerably widen.

As regards Italy, the 15-59 years age group dominated and stood at 61,6%. Next comes the oldest and the youngest age group, at 24,1% and 14,3% respectively. Unlike Yemen, the middle age group is expected to go down significantly; however, it will still remain its popularity in 2050. Additionally, there will be a sharp increase in the number for people over 60 years old as it will possibly double to 42,3%
